The #US #legal system is not at all about #justice, but about justifying our #carceral #PrisonIndustrialComplex which imprisons people at a much higher rate than any other country—about as many as #China—while, obscenely, inhumanely, and unjustly, creating massive #profits for both "#PrivatePrison" #corporations and contractors for #government-run #jails and #prisons.
Our entire system must be rebuilt, and #courtrooms need to be included in that process.

Overcrowded, cramped and insecure: state of #UK’s #jails made conditions ripe for #Khalife’s escape
Crumbling buildings, a lack of space inside them and the high turnover of staff paint a picture of the parlous state of the #prisons service

I'm about to force-push my #Linuxulator userland branch now, removing all hacks to disable xattr usage.
TL;DR is: If you want to test it on #FreeBSD 14 and newer right now, you'll have to apply this patch: https://people.freebsd.org/~dchagin/xattr.patch -- I hope it will be committed to main and stable/14 soon 😎
The (weird) background is: Support for #Linux xattr syscalls was added quite recently, and it correctly maps the Linux syscalls to the FreeBSD ones. So far, so good. BUT: Access to the "system" namespace for extended attributes is typically restricted to root (and, on FreeBSD, also restricted in #jails). Now, FreeBSD returns EPERM on attempts, which IMHO makes perfect sense. But, Linux returns ENOTSUP in these cases instead. And: GNU tools and other Linux software using extended attributes considers EPERM a *fatal* error as a consequence. This means things like "install" from GNU coreutils are now broken in jails and as non-root. 🤯
The patch above fixes this.

@stefano it's ironic to state that open source only offers toys, when in fact a lot of proprietary companies (to say the least) disguise these same toys and sell it as a unique and special solution....

I was inspired by https://jvns.ca/blog/2021/01/23/firecracker--start-a-vm-in-less-than-a-second/ and wanted to try out making a #firecracker #vm from a Dockerfile myself. Got it all up and running. But, as you'd expected from a hobby project, it's lacking a lot of polish. So I took a step back and started thinking if I could maybe opt for using BSD #jails instead? Any tips for how to get started with #jails as a long time Docker user?
@stefano I grew up with #Unix and had my first own experiences in the 1980s with #MINIX on an ATARI ST, #SINIX (Siemens #Unix derivat), and with #HPUX, #Solaris and #IRIX at the university.
#FreeBSD is my favourite #BSD (server) OS. I use it mainly because of its versatility. My use cases are firewalls, containerisation via #jails and VMs via #bhyve.
As desktop and mobile OSes I use the Apple #Unix derivates.

LA jails just posted another death, which means now that there were THREE deaths in LASD jail custody yesterday!!
Now up to 22 deaths this year.
Experts say the analysis is a step forward for the #CDC, but crucial data on people who #died while in #policecustody or inside local #jails is likely missing from the report. #Reforms meant to address #policeviolence have stalled across the country, and #reckless #policeshootings and reports of lethal neglect continue to make headlines three years after #GeorgeFloyd was #murdered by #police in #Minneapolis, sparking a nationwide uprising.

Let's play a game: Was this written in the LA Times A. 16 days ago, B. 16 years ago, or C. Time is flat and nothing ever really changes.
If you said B (or C) you are correct. #lasd #incarceration #jails #losangeles

I'm tweeting about #jails and #bail because (real, substantive) #bailreform is good for society and we need more of it. And I'm tweeting for upper middle class white people because we have a lot of power/positionality, and yet tend to be least knowledgeable about the issues.
